Solution
Smart Manufacturing
Connect the cell to the rest of the plant in a way that survives a shift change
Why This Matters
Smart manufacturing only earns its name if the connection is still working in month six. Delkotech builds cells that report what they are doing in a format your existing systems can consume, and keep running when that link drops.
How It Runs
The Sequence We Follow
Five stages, in this order. Skipping one is what makes the others expensive.
Agree the data contract
What the cell will publish, how often and in what format is agreed with your IT group before the software is written.
Local first
The cell runs on its own logic. The network link adds visibility, it is not a dependency for production.
Traceability
Where the part carries an identifier, the process record is tied to it so the history follows the part.
Changeover support
Recipes and part programs are selected at the HMI rather than edited in code, so a product change is an operator action.
Scale
The second and third cell reuse the same structure, so the plant gets one system rather than three dialects.
Outcomes
What You Have Afterwards
- Cells that keep running when the network does not
- One consistent data structure across successive projects
- Changeovers handled by operators at the HMI
- Traceability tied to the part rather than to the shift log

Smart Manufacturing Questions
What does Smart Manufacturing cover at Delkotech?
Smart manufacturing only earns its name if the connection is still working in month six. Delkotech builds cells that report what they are doing in a format your existing systems can consume, and keep running when that link drops.
Is this sold separately from the machine?
It is part of how the machine is built rather than an add on. Where you already have equipment and want only this capability applied to it, that is scoped as its own project.
Who do you work with on our side?
Usually engineering, maintenance and, depending on the capability, your IT or quality group. Agreeing the interfaces with those people early is what prevents the disagreements at commissioning.
What do we get at handover?
Documentation that matches what was built: the sequence of operation, as built drawings, test records and any data or network arrangements described rather than merely listed.
